Little media interest as police say religion was not the cause of "execution-style" killings of three young Indiana men.
Police in the US state of Indiana say they are yet to identify a motive
for the "execution-style" murders of three young Muslim-American men
last week, in a case that has barely caused a ripple in mainstream media
in the United States
The three men - 23-year-old Mohamedtaha
Omar, 20-year-old Adam Mekki and 17-year-old Muhannad Tairab - were
found dead in a house in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Wednesday, police told local media.
The
men, who police said hailed from Africa's eastern Sahel region, had all
been shot multiple times. Police said the murders were not believed to
be gang-related.
The killings came in the same week that other
mass shootings in the US gained widespread coverage, nationally and
internationally.
Last Saturday night, a man identified as Jason Dalton drove around the Michigan city of Kalamazoo and randomly shot people, leaving at least six dead.
Then on Thursday, three people were killed and at least 14 others wounded by a gunman in a series of shootings in the state of Kansas.
After major online news site Vox
published a piece on the Fort Wayne shootings on Saturday, many took to
social media to question why there had not been more coverage.
